in 1913, a persecution in Mex-
ico under the Constitutionalists
broke out. To prevent the Mexi-
can clergy from being stamped
out, the sisters of Divine Pro vi-
dence offered the former mother
house as a seminary for native
Mexican students for the priest-
hood. Ih 1915, Bishop Shaw and
Mother Florence signed a con-
tract in which the building and
grounds were to be used for a
year or, if necessary, 2 years. .

Castroville was not to become
a town of mere historic interest.
/ It was here that the Castro-
ville Normal School was held in
July and August of 1898. Sixty-
four teachers, both religious and
secular, attended these summer
classes, which were taught by
various professors. Included a-
mong the lecturers' were Hon. T.
M. Paschal and Judge H. E.f
Hass; Dr. J. T. FitzSimon gave '
a series of lectures on anatomy*
This pattern, was also followed
in the summer of 1899, after
which the normal school was
moved to Our Lady of the Lake.

OBLATES PURCHASE IT
At the end of this time, the
Oblates of Mary Immaculate
asked to purchase from the Sis-
ters of Divine Providence all
their houses, lands, and proper-
ties in Castroville, so that they
could establish a seminary here.
The congregation sold air their
rights to the Oblates for >25,000
in July, 1920. After their semi-
nary in San Antonio was com-
pleted, the Oblates sold the
Castroville property to the Holy
See. a

not in operation as s school. St.
Louis School was opened in
1925, staffed by 4 Sisters of
Divine Providence.
g The former mother house was
used again for a time as a semi-
nary for exiled Mexican students,
under the care of the Salesian
Fathers from Cuba; but by the
end of 1937, the priests had re-
turned to their own country.

posed that the congregation buy
back their old home. By January,
1939, the entire property—includ-
ing the old mother house and
Castroville's first church—again
belonged to the sisters. A mili-
tary school for boys was started;
this institution grew rapidly and
prospered.
But in September, 1959, a radi-
cal change took place, made
necessary by the Increased num-

Now the folks in Castroville may have a similar com-
munications system for the home. It’s called the Home Inter-
phone and offers many advantages to save time and need-
less steps. For instance you can talk from room to room,
call people to the phone, even answer the door wi thou t
/ / . leaving the room you’re in. ;:" pnua ",
Near each phone in the home is a small speaker which;
broadcasts the caller’s voice. The person called can answer
through a small microphone located in the base of the phone.-
If you’d like more information about the Home Inter-
phone, just call the telephone business office-or ask 'any J
